You cannot look at a person's profile if they are out of your network or have their profile set to private. Once they accept your friend request, you will be able to view it.

(by network I mean like, if you are part of the ABC High School network and he's a part of the DEF High School network, you can't see his profile. However, you CAN see people in the ABC High School network as long as their profile is public)

Yes. It is way different from MySpace. And for the better.

In short, it's very difficult to be able to see someone's profile without being friends with them. In fact, off the top of my head, it's impossible without them somehow contacting you, either by accepting a friend request, responding to a message, or poking you.

If they are in the same network than you...then no you can't look at it, because that means their profile is private.

The only way you can see it if they have a private profile is if they add you as a friend.

If they are in a different network than you...then you can set up a new email address and quickly make a new facebook profile in that network and if their profile is open, you would then be able to view it.

Hope that helped. If you don't understand that or have further questions just expand the details and I'll respond back.

you can only see someone's facebook profile if they have let it be opened or you are their friend. You are not spose to see profiles of ppl you don't know.
